Description: Climate change and environmental crises can seem immobilizing, and we can fall into the temptation of thinking that our efforts don't really matter. But it's not just about what we do as isolated individuals. Activist Ben Lowe calls us to come together and care for the earth. Telling real-life stories from college, churches and communities, Lowe shows that little things make a big difference when we all work together.--From back cover.
